Yoga word clouds

Just a bit of fun with Wordle (the bigger the word in the cloud, the more frequently it occurs in the source text). Here are clouds for an English translation of Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras and The Hatha Yoga Pradipika (English and Sanskrit). I love that the word “mind” is one of the most prominent words for both of these fundamental yoga teachings … seems to reveal that the practice has always been about the mind.
